Some more about Neil Gaiman, from a woman whose husband may have known him
Didn’t imagine this would be what brought me back to BlueSky but it seems to be here that people are actually talking about the Neil Gaiman allegations and I have some things to say 1/5

I’ve been hesitant to comment because Neil is in my wider social circle and there are people very dear to me who are close to him and are being directly impacted by all of this but after weeks of lurking/getting mad at the victim-blamers I feel like I need to add my voice to support these women 2/5

Around 2010 my ex told me that Neil Gaiman had asked if he knew any young women he could send to “keep him company” while he was working alone in a remote part of Scotland. He stipulated that they be “interesting but not interesting enough to fall in love with” 3/5

That always stuck with me even though I didn’t acknowledge the creepiness of the entire request until much later. I’ve attached some screenshots (with permission) from a private conversation about this I had back in 2022. AA/A is my ex to clarify. 4/5

It sounds almost like Gaiman was trying to solicit prostitution, and as this info indicates, he certainly was committing adultery, all those years when he was married. Though that's still nothing compared to the sexual assault he's accused of committing. And that part about only wanting a woman who wasn't interesting enough to fall in love with, there is something bizarre and atrocious about that, and insulting to the intellect. No sensible woman should want anything to do with such a scoundrel.I’ve removed a LOT of the conversation to protect people who haven’t gone public but suffice to say there is a pattern of behavior dating back to at least the 90s. 5/5
